 Matilda's horned viper（马蒂尔达角蝰）




The Matilda's horned viper is a newly-found species of snake in Africa. Its unique appearance makes it look like a cartoon character. The yellow-green-black creature has two horns protruding from its head. It can grow to 65 cm or even bigger. Scientists believe that it is venomous. The snake was named after a 7-year-old girl Matilda, whose father was one of the researchers who discovered the snake.
